Facts about Crimsafe

What are Crimsafe screens made of?

Crimsafe security screens are made from high-grade, tempered aluminium that is corrosion resistant, strong and durable. They’re manufactured using the best heavy-duty extruded aluminium, so they will withstand most attempts at entry from burglars and vandals.

Crimsafe screens are manufactured to order, so they fit your window and door openings perfectly.

Why use Crimsafe?

In the Australian heat, a breeze through the house is a Godsend, but leaving windows and doors open is an invitation to burglars. Flimsy screens might insects out, but they won’t stop an intruder.

Crimsafe screens are designed to:

* Withstand all but the most determined intruder

* Allow the breeze through

* Fit almost any door or window (and they’re made-to-order, so they fit perfectly)

* Block up to 30 percent of harmful UV rays (protecting carpet, floors and furnishings, as well as keeping the temperature down in summer)

Crimsafe’s three-point locking system

Crimsafe doors outperform the Australian safety standards. They’re so confident in the product, they offer a 15-year guarantee. Why so confident?

Crimsafe is the only security screen maker that clamps the mesh between serrated pieces of metal. After that, they drive a highly specialized screw through the mesh and frame.

After 40 years in the business, we know a thing or two about security screens. When you’re looking for the right security screen for your house, here’s what you should think about…

1. The stronger the better

If you’re looking to keep out more than flies and mosquitos, you’ve got to have something strong. Anything your pet can scratch a hole in isn’t going to stop a burglar’s knife.

We recommend Crimsafe and this is the biggest reason why.

2. Touch it

Any reputable screen manufacturer will have had their doors tested. Their is an Australian standard. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t see what you’re buying first. Touch it. Push it. Make sure you feel comfortable with it. Ask questions. Look online for reviews.

If you see a working model, check that the mesh is screwed into the frame, not held in place by cheap plastic locks that can be kicked in easily.

3. If safety matters, use a professional

The toughest security screen in the world is useless if it’s not properly installed. Professional installers know how to maximise the security of the screen in the way they install it. Don’t spend money on getting the best screen then make it ineffective by installing it badly.

4. Ask about the warranty

Quality manufacturers stand behind their products. Why wouldn’t they? Crimsafe, for instance, offers a 15 year warranty on their Ultimate products. Make sure you’re buying from someone who backs themselves. If they don’t think their screen won’t fail, you shouldn’t either.
